Great :-)! I'm very pleased to hear about FreeBSD users in the Western part of Romania.

I don't know where you get this information but it is wrong! The ftp.ro.freebsd.org is used only by a few users (of course many anonymous logins!). As you can easily verify the ftp.ro.freebsd.org is different from students server (utft10.uvt.ro). Starting next week the archive will be moved on our new server (PII 450 MHz, 256 MB RAM, SCSI UW HDDs). The connection between inext.ro and RoEdu.net (Romanian Education Network we stand on) is very slow and therefore you get slow access time (make a traceroute), altough we both are TAIDE CUSTOMERS! Currently we are the biggest FreeBSD based site in Romania (and as you can see we are in the Educational/Academic area) and we asked first for delegation for ro.freebsd.org. > I would like to help this situation by setting up a primarily a www and > within one month a ftp mirror for Romania. > We are a commercial company and we would like to ask u if it is possible for > these mirrors to get the first mirror addresses (www. and ftp. instead of > www1. and ftp1.).

If the FreeBSD Project members make the decision to give you the first mirror addresses (www. and ftp.)

First of all (for www mirror) you have to read http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ22.html#22 After you have successfully mirrored the www site you can send me one message to put your server in ro.freebsd.org domain name server and one message to www.freebsd.org to put you server in the list.
